TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Punngaviapik.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Punngaviapik is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Punngaviapik is located at 56.1672°N, 76.6392°W.
Punngaviapik rests upon the rugged, enduring shore of Lac Tasiujaq, a presence defined by the stark, ancient granite of the Colline Katavviapik. It lies 43.2 km south of Umiujaq, QC (from Umiujaq, QC: bearing 187°T), and is situated 3.7 km west of Punngavialuk. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, bruised clarity, stretching long shadows across the stone as the air cools into a sharp, crystalline stillness. Beyond the immediate reach of the shore, the Petite rivière de la Baleine courses through the silent expanse some 20 km away, while the vast, protected reaches of Parc national Tursujuq wait 23 km distant. Punngaviapik exists in a dialogue with this immense, subarctic horizon, where the wind carries the scent of cold water and the deep, hushed memory of shifting ice. Life in Punngaviapik moves in accordance with the seasonal migrations and the profound demands of the northern climate, anchoring the local economy to traditional harvesting and the careful stewardship of the land. The heritage of the region runs deep, held in the quiet knowledge of those who navigate the terrain by the subtle shifts in snow and current rather than marked paths. In the brief, intense height of summer, the sun lingers with a persistence that turns the surface of Lac Tasiujaq into a sheet of hammered silver, illuminating the resilience of a culture that has long thrived in such a demanding, beautiful periphery.
Punngaviapik s'étire avec une noblesse austère sur les rives du Lac Tasiujaq, là où le ciel du Nord-du-Québec semble descendre pour effleurer les pierres de la Colline Katavviapik. L’air y possède une limpidité tranchante, une qualité de froid qui purifie chaque pensée et rend le silence du paysage presque sonore. À une vingtaine de kilomètres, la Petite rivière de la Baleine serpente à travers la toundra, traçant un sillon argenté qui rappelle la persistance des eaux anciennes face aux rigueurs minérales. Non loin, le Parc national Tursujuq impose sa présence majestueuse, protégeant des terres où la lumière du crépuscule s’attarde, teintant le sol de nuances cuivrées et violacées qui transforment le terrain en une étendue hors du temps. Dans cet isolement géographique, Punngaviapik vit au rythme d’une terre qui exige l’humilité, façonnant le caractère de ceux qui habitent ses marges avec une sobriété héritée des générations passées. Les journées s’écoulent sans artifice, marquées par le mouvement lent des ombres sur la roche et le souffle du vent qui balaie les plateaux. Chaque élément de ce cadre sauvage, du relief escarpé aux vastes nappes liquides, forge une existence où la survie se confond avec une forme de contemplation pure, loin du tumulte des mondes lointains.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
